Your Next Chapter Counseling is proud to show up in support of all identities—and we’d love for you to stop by our booth and celebrate with us! Whether you’re part of the LGBTQIA+ community or an ally, your presence matters. Pride is about showing up for each other, creating safer spaces, and building a community rooted in love, care, and affirmation. 🫶
We’ll be there with goodies galore—think self-care raffles, pride-themed temporary tattoos, bubbles, affirmations, and more!

Have you checked out this weekends Pride on Main Schedule? Friday we stop by the Waterin Hole for a casual check in. And then we kick off Saturdays events at the courthouse, with a parade down main, and vendors (89) and performers on Wall Street. We end Saturday night with a drag show at the Folkmoot and then we are off to the Pigeon Center Sunday morning with an afternoon swim at the Meadowlark! Share the good news and join us this upcoming weekend in Haywood County! ❤️🌈

Today we celebrate Juneteenth — a day of Black freedom, resilience, and joy.

At Your Next Chapter, we honor this day by uplifting the voices, stories, and leadership of our Black colleagues and community members. While we celebrate progress, we also recognize that the fight for racial justice continues — and we remain committed to showing up and doing the work.

Love loudly. Validate often. 🌈💖
Showing up for the LGBTQIA+ people in your life doesn’t mean having all the answers—it means choosing compassion, curiosity, and care.

Here are a few simple, powerful ways to validate your loved ones’ identities. Whether it’s a new name, a shift in pronouns, or a story they’re just beginning to tell—you have the power to make them feel seen, safe, and celebrated.

✨ If your child tells you their pronouns have changed—honor them.
✨ If your friend shares a new label, a new name, or a deeper truth—celebrate them.
✨ If someone you love is exploring their identity—stay curious, not critical.
✨ If a loved one comes out to you—thank them for trusting you.
✨ If someone corrects how you refer to them—adjust with grace, not guilt.
✨ If a young person shares their gender or sexuality—believe them.
✨ If someone asks you to use inclusive language—make the effort.
✨ If a loved one doesn’t have all the answers yet—give them time and space.
✨ If someone shares painful experiences of exclusion or discrimination—listen without defensiveness.
✨ If your instincts say “this is unfamiliar”—lead with love, not fear.

You are welcome here. You are safe here. You are enough here.
